Summary: Not just a book, but a classic!
Comment: A roller coaster ride of emotions that begins at the first line "When coke was a nickel and bread was a dime, I had pennies in my pocket all the time". The feelings that empower this piece of literature are far beyond my mere words. Flushed out to the point of tasting, smelling and thus feeling at every page turn. I sat and read it straight through from front to finish and was exhausted from the emotional turmoil. Never have I wanted to do anything more than read 'til the last page. One time I came close and that novel was The Good Earth. Not that I'm comparing the two, by far, but because the people and places come to life unfolding onto your world of consciousness and they don't leave. Ghosts that remain to utter phrases that will only come to be repeated through the ages and then collect for others to draw upon as their own. Yet, disguised within this lush surrounding of people you want to live with, is evil laboring to disrupt the safety of a world that tends to come unglued while a young boy travels lightly but poignantly through it. His presence captures the soul of every human being who cherishes life and does not allow its essence to be diminished by those who are destined to perpetuate evil. You cheer with this little boy through the good and gasp with him through the bad leaving one faltering for a breath as you wipe away the tears that come streaming down your face. Then when you think you know what comes next your arms grow goose bumps as the hair on the back of your neck stands at attention while your hand shakes and fights the lump in your throat as you read on, and on and on. As the end draws near, you don't want it to end and you don't want it to stop yet when the last line is read all you can do is exhale and wipe your face, with or without a tissue. It unfolds in front of you as would a movie and you leave talking about the characters within as the best show in decades.

Summary: Wow! What a novel. Should be a movie!
Comment: Never in my life have I started reading something that kept egging me to turn the page, read the next line, the next paragraph, the next chapter and ultimately the last page after many hours of sitting. I couldn't eat. I didn't want to look away and do anything else for fear that I would lose my page and forget something if I took too long away from these characters. My head was swimming with delight, joy, pain, sorrow and eventually finger biting chills. IF HOLLYOWOOD DOESN'T TURN THIS INTO A FILM, SHAME ON THEM. I can't wait to talk to anyone whose read it and discuss the MANY gems found within this AWARD WINNER. It's a staggering piece of LITERATURE that WILL make it into history.

My hats off to you Mr. Edwards; anything you write, I want to read. What an amazing and lush world you've developed. And the way you tell it made me hungry for more.

The surprises are emotion churning to the point of laughing, gasping, cheering and consequently uplifting. I forget the reason I purchased this novel. I don't care if I remember why. The only thing that matter's is that I lived long enough to read such wonderful words, placed in such a prolific manner, with such care for the person reading them. I hope there's a sequel. Heck, I hope there's a whole SERIES. I want to know more about DANNY BOY'S LIFE and family.

Summary: A fantastic voyage!
Comment: This book had me hooked within the first few pages. I could not put it down until I had read every last word. Writing from a child's point of view and making it believable is difficult but the author does it beautifully. The description of the town and character development make you feel like you are a part of the neighborhood. Snow Shadows is a book that causes a range of emotions, it will make you laugh, cry, feel anger and frustration, but ultimately leaves you with a feeling of exhiliration from taking a fantastic voyage through the life of a young boy from Cape Breton.
